IntenseDebate

I admit that this is a post that many people won't care about, so if you're not at all interested in blogging, site hosting, or comments systems, you may stop reading now. For those still here, the topic of discussion is IntenseDebate.

If you don't know, IntenseDebate is a 3rd-party comments system that is meant to replace either your blog's default comment system, or whatever set-up you're running. It has a few great features, such as tracking users across blogs and sites that use this system. It's easy to install, well programmed, and has just about every function that you could ask for from a comments system.

In fact, the only problem that I had is that its text input boxes responded abnormally slow to my typing (I also had this problem on Squidoo), but only in FireFox. I'm actually not sure if it's a problem with their service, the browser, or my outdated system, but I actually don't care enough about this issue to ask the team at IntenseDebate. The fact that anyone at all who reads my blog might have to suffer through the slow response time of an otherwise excellently-executed system is enough for me to not use it at all!

Does anyone else have thoughts on this, or similar issues with other web apps? Comments, Blogspot default, always open.
